Surface Burners
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and
cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust
removers.
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
“General Cleaning” section.

5. Gas tube opening
Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spillovers
by always using a burner cap.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean:
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to “General Cleaning” section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.

the cap are properly aligned with the burner base.

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
Simmer Plate
The Simmer Plate is made of aluminum to evenly spread the heat
over the bottom of cookware. It can be used on the large surface
burners.
Do not use the Simmer Plate above the medium setting. For best
results, use the Simmer Plate with burner settings in the medium
to low range on the cooktop when lower temperatures are
needed for simmering, or for maintaining food at a low
temperature over an extended period of time.
Channels on the bottom of the Simmer Plate have been designed
so it fits properly and securely over the grate.
See “Assistance or Service” section to order extra Simmer
Plates.
